I already posted where Kobayashi confirmed the anime is between "DMC1" and "DMC4" It's the first of my links.

Dante is in his 30's according to Kobayashi. This "It cannot be" is already thrown out the window because it's already been officially stated. It is the "Nero is the same age as Dante in DMC3" that needs clarification and that's probably false because people guestimating. That's the point of this blog. To weed this stuff out and put in actual known facts that people can read.

The links provided are factual. I actually search for the links provided and they're actual interviews and stuff. They're not forum posts for the most part and only one If I recall is in which they explicited said they copied and pasted from an interview (the thing itself cannot be found anymore. I found a deadlink to it)

And yeah, DMC fans tend to want something so badly, they'll do rather weird things such as make sure people think a character's age is "such and such" and was "stated" by someone that never said that and actually had a statement that left it vague. Then people try to make it definite instead of just accepting the fact Capcom are not interested in telling of character's true ages. I'm just surprised no one really tried getting these facts up.
